Sausage loaves and apple dumplings are on the menu tonight: where does this tradition come from? “We hope that we will arrive with 2,000 pieces per delicacy”

Today is Lost Monday in Antwerp. And that sounds much more hopeless than this high day for the Antwerp bakers actually is. “It will be a night of work to get everything ready,” says Tinne Snoeys of Bakkerij Ambacht in Merksplas. Together with Laura Goossens from Bakery Goossens, she explains where the tradition comes from and how you can recognize a high-quality sausage bread or tasty apple bun.
